LRD Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Eh, how is AVB expected to have a real chance of being assistant and having all those heavy responsibilities when Mourinho always wanted a local lad for the position? No idea who he had alienated at Spurs too. As fair as I'm aware, no Spurs players have spoken badly of AVB in public like some Chelsea players did. I think your assumption that AVB is a prick is harsh and doesn't have much to stand on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It is just guess work. Whether I'm right or wrong I still don't rate him. We'll probably never find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 AVB was still doing a decent job at Spurs. They are still very much within a shout of the top 4 finish they crave, and thats with arguably more competition for the top 4 as well. They went through the Europa League with a 100% record, and are in the quarter finals of the League Cup. Sure they had a few disappointing results but I don't think he was given a chance to turn it around. Sure Chelsea had a disappointing league positioning, but he was trying to change much of the team at the time and there was many players at the club there who were not performing and rumours were that Abramovich was deciding who should play and the non performers were amongst it. It sounds like his hands were tied at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Makes me laugh how the media never see anything remotely 'knee-jerk' in giving a previously untested caretaker manager a job based on one or two wins after the previous bloke was binned.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Perhaps Mourinho considered AVB some kind of threat to his position as manager?! Anyway, AVB clearly has potential and will go on to be a very successful manager IMO. I'd have him here in a heart-beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read he's in the frame for WBA, which might be his level. Maybe. In retrospect, it's a shame he didn't get one of the gigs he was touted for over summer - it would be funny watching him try to manage Cristiano Ronaldo or Zlatan Ibrahimovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
